nView® Multi-Display Technology

Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexibility and control for multiple monitors. NVIDIA GPUs are enabled to support multi-displays, but graphics cards vary.

OpenGL 2.0® Optimizations and Support

Ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all OpenGL 2.0 application.

Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0C

Ensures the best performance and application compatibility for all DirectX 9.0C applications.

Able to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600.

PureVideo™ HD

Available on HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs, high-definition movies are bringing an exciting new video experience to PC users. NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD technology lets you enjoy cinematic-quality HD DVD and Blu-ray movies with low CPU utilization and power consumption, allowing higher quality movie playback and picture clarity.PureVideo HD technology provides a combination of powerful hardware acceleration, content security, and integration with movie players, plus all the features found in PureVideo.

Windows Vista® Ready

NVIDIA's third-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the 3D graphical user interface in the upcoming operating system (OS) from Microsoft.

PCI Express

Designed to run perfectly with the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers.

RoHS Compliant

As a citizen of the global village, GIGABYTE exert ourselves to be a pioneer in environment care. Give the whole of Earth a promise that our products do not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the RoHS Directive, and are capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required for lead free solder. One Earth and GIGABYTE Cares!

Silent-Pipe II Technology

Silent-Pipe II technology that generates natural airflow to provide more efficient cooling without the use of a heat sink or fan. This is achieved through a unique design that draws cool air in through a new proprietary front-flow thermal module to remove heat from the heat sink on the VGA card. GIGABYTE Silent-Pipe II Features and Benefits:*Feature 1. Proprietary front-flow thermal module: the first Dual-slot heat pipe solution to utilize a convection slot at the back of the chassis to increase thermal dissipation. *Feature 2. Natural convection design: Silent-Pipe II technology artfully uses the temperature difference between the inside and outside of chassis, creating natural system convection.*Feature 3. High-precision die-casting process: uses the latest high-precision die forming technology to increase the thermal conductivity of the material that makes up the heat sink.*Feature 4. SLI ready: designed for compatibility with dual card configurations.*Feature 5. High performance heat pipe with sintered powder wicks: with the industry's best powder-style pure copper heat pipe for ultra efficient thermal conductivity.*Feature 6. 3D performance ready: designed stability during demanding 3D applications.*Feature 7. Integrated architecture design: heat pipe and GPU actually make contact to provide unequalled heat conductivity.

GIGABYTE V-tuner3

GIGABYTE's monitoring and overclocking tool V-tuner 3 enables users to dynamically optimize the memory and GPU frequencies; moreover, demonstrates real-time temperature for models integrated with hardware thermal sensor chip. What's new with V-tuner3: *Auto detect most suitable OC Clock *Resume back to original CLK(BIOS Clock) while abnormal shut down *Use GPU internal Diode to get temp information, no more H/W monitor chip *Show 2D/3D CLK at the same time and tuning separately *Save CLK to enable OC every booting

GIGABYTE @VGA

To make it easier update the VGA BIOS than before and help users update the latest VGA BIOS from Internet automatically.

SLI™ Technology

Delivers up to 2X the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences by allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI Express graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on 60 top PC games.
